NUR MUADDATUNIKMAH. S200140081. SUBJECTIVITY OF MARIAM:
AN ANALYSIS OF KHALED HOSSEINI’S NOVEL A THOUSAND
SPLENDID SUNS (2007). TESIS. UNIVERSITAS MUHMMADIYAH
SURAKARTA. 2016
Studi subjektivitas telah difokuskan pada hubungan kekuasaan. Hubungan antara Mariam dan ayahnya, Mariam dan ibunya, juga Mariam dan suaminya, yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dari statusnya sebagai anak haram. Di sini, penulis mencoba untuk menganalisis subjektivitas Mariam didasarkan pada pandangan Julia Kristeva. Akhirnya, penulis menarik kesimpulan bahwa dengan menciptakan Mariam, Hosseini ingin menyampaikan pesan bahwa anak haram, perempuan yang tidak berpendidikan, wanita yang tidak dapat bersosialisasi dengan baik, juga perempuan yang mengenakan perempuan burqa adalah sama, yang harus diterima, harus dicintai kembali, dan diperlakukan dengan baik . Bagaimana buruk, dan kehidupan memalukan di masa lalu, tidak bisa menjadi alasan untuk mengejek mereka atau memperlakukan mereka dengan buruk. Dan semua manusia, baik pria atau wanita memiliki hak mereka untuk mendapatkan pendidikan setinggi yang mereka inginkan.
